The FriXion Ball 3 multi pen combines three useful FriXion gel inks in one pen body! It features the same beloved thermo-sensitive ink that can be erased by friction, in a knock format to extended and retract each pen tip. The pen has a rubber grip for writing comfort, as well as a spring-loaded clip to secure to your pocket or notebook cover. The special rubber “eraser” tip at the end allows you to erase conveniently without having to retract the pen tip, and the ink erases without a trace! Refills are available.

Interestingly enough, the ink in these pens will actually reappear when the temperature reaches below – 10 C (under 14 Fahrenheit). A freezer is sufficiently cold enough to make the ink start to reappear. It is like a magic pen for adults!

Because the ink in this pen is thermo sensitive, we do not advise for it to be left in hot cars, used for mailing, or subjected to a condition that exposes it to a lot of friction.

I was disappointed to find out that the refills are not compatible with the
other frixion eraseable retractable pens. I was also disappointed that refills
in the 07 point tip are not available for this pen. Will they be available in
the future? This pen writes too scratchy for me!

I would like to rate this a 5, but it really isn't that great. i completely
agree with the scratchy part of the other review. however, i don't think it's
that uneven, but it is. overall, great pen for the fact it is erasable.

Overall: Pen body is very thick and awkward to write with. However, I should
have expected this from a pen that has 3 different colored gel tubes insides one
barrel.

Erasing: The pen erases every color perfectly. Very hard to notice any leftover
ink on the page, doesn't smear, and doesn't pill the paper or leave eraser gunk
on the page.

Writing: The pen is very scratchy, and does not disperse the gel at an even
rate. The lines are often broken, and writing quality is just poor. Each line is
separated by the nib, leaving whitespace at the centre of each line drawn.

Red Gel: Stands out on page, very vivid and easy to see

Black Gel: Very faint, and hard to see. Lines are very uneven and tend to
skip/break very frequently

Blue Gel: Somewhere between the red and black gel. The gel color is faint, but
doesn't break as often
